1. Pray upon Muhammad and greet him,
The darkened universe shone bright.

2. The night of polytheism spread its halls,
Shooting stars fell and stars collapsed.

3. They are like angels' sprinkling upon the earth,
Rejoicing in him, interpreting for every admonisher.

4. And the miracles came forward to him in a group,
Testing the minds and confusing the critic.

5. The light of guidance shone like the dawn, so the Magi's fire was extinguished,
It no longer flared up.

6. The idols collapsed from their high places,
They almost shattered from the intensity of their fall.

7. It was as if the glimmers spoke preaching,
If only the deaf mute could understand the saying.

8. His safe mother gave birth to him, white and pure,
Announcing the seal of prophethood.

9. And he had the marks of perfection upon him,
Appearing when stared at by the hopeful.

10. He combined all virtues,
Morally and physically - the perfecter of that.

11. The prophet Muhammad was sent in a time,
When soothsayers and astrologers prevailed.

12. There was none left on earth but polytheists,
Or atheists lost in ravings.

13. The pure religion was vulgarised and the
Ancient scriptures distorted by monks and translators.

14. So violations, lives, and honors were permitted
When no prohibitor remained.

15. Khosrow's injustice spread over the east,
And Heraclius' was darker in the west.

16. The people between the two Caesars were like
Sheep split between those wolves.

17. Until the Persians wished for the return of Mazdak,
And the Ancient House and Zamzam sought refuge.

18. Suddenly, Hira heard the chime,
Of Gabriel in its corners speaking.

19. The cave became, the next day, a cave of guidance,
Dawn splitting from it, smiling.

20. The Trustworthy One lay inside, pondering -
Were these truths or hallucinations he saw?

21. So he went to Khadija, covering himself
From fear, though he was the courageous teacher.

22. And the arrogant people laughed at his words,
"I am God's Messenger, I have come to you.

23. That there is no god but Him, and He is on His Throne,
The First, the Last, the Apparent, the Hidden."

24. And Muhammad is His slave and messenger,
The decisive Scripture has come to him from Him.

25. "O people, do not worship a god other than Him.
Do you worship stones that do not understand?"

26. This is God's Scripture in its inimitability,
No speaker can produce its like."

27. Their minds were confused, so they said he is
A poet of ancient magic, spellbound.

28. They obstinately opposed him and went too far,
Where the foolish one of the elders is more forbearing.

29. They belied him and tortured his followers,
So they found the torture sweet and insisted.

30. They hid for a while, and he hid them
In his house at the time of the early prayer.

31. Until He came to him, "Proclaim what you are commanded",
So despite the people, they did not conceal.

32. To God, from the youth of Quraysh, a group
Who pledged to him to strive and submit.

33. In the Cave of Thawr, the second of two hid,
As if the enemies around them were blind.

34. It was an emigration between misguidance, a separator,
And guidance, so the path became clear.

35. In Medina, the light emerged radiantly,
Its bay shone and Qalzam glistened.

36. And the pillars of misguidance and blindness
At Badr were brought down in disgrace.

37. The raids continued until all the peninsula
Submitted to the guidance.

38. And in a moment, the whole plain
Became an organized religion for people's conditions.

39. "Pray, fast, and give your charity,
And head to the sacred pilgrimage devoted to Him.

40. The contact of servants with their Lord is their prayers,
The individual and the paired.

41. And fasting is health and voluntary,
Through it desire is controlled.

42. If we were to give the charity in its right,
No deprived one would remain among us.

43. And the pilgrimage is the conference of acquaintance and loyalty,
When the delegations of the season gather."

44. There is no difference between Arab and non-Arab,
He who fears his Master is the most noble.

45. And the self is hostage to what it has earned,
On Judgement Day when the sinner is punished.

46. A religion fitting for every people on earth,
Adapting to every vast region.

47. It calls to the highest perfection and most just
Legislation - no injustice or oppressed.

48. It came commanding worship and piety,
Without monasticism that kills and nullifies.

49. Permitting normal pleasures, it calls to
Moderation - and prohibits the wicked.

50. Religions dwindle around its loftiness,
And with it prevails, and none prevail over the Muslim.

51. But we are a successor that came after them,
The heritage is lost and its inheritors are asleep.

52. The lives of Muslims are in their religion,
What they uphold, and woe to them if they refrain.
